Working with Direct reports

Today i got upset because something that my direct report misses out the payment. As a penalty my company need to pay extra payment. There will be a few problems working with your direct reports: -
1) Very common problem is communication - sometimes they don't understand the requirement it important for us as leaders to make it clear to them in writing and verbal.
2) They don't understand the important of the subject matter - most of the time we leaders are to busy handling allot of task and assign some role to our direct reports but it important for us to explain the important of the matter in detail and follow up with them.

Responsibilities should come within you. One should be responsible for his/her own decisions or activities. If something has been assigned, they should take the full responsibility of it. If they are not sure, they should ask. By taking the full accountability of the matter, they will make good leaders in the future.
